Laser-Induced Graphene Inhibits Biofouling, Kills Bacteria

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has been shown to be effective in resisting biofouling (the buildup of biological material on wet surfaces) and, when used as electrodes with a small applied voltage, in destroying bacteria. “This form of graphene is extremely resistant to biofilm formation, which has promise for places like water-treatment plants, oil-drilling operations, hospitals and ocean applications like underwater pipes that are sensitive to fouling,” James Tour, Rice University chemist and developer of LIG, said. “The antibacterial qualities when electricity is...Read full article
